Anyone seen? Love thoughts……..
Hm. Sounds interesting. Is there more on this available to us to read?
Thanks!

I am not sure diabetes is genetic at all. There is NO ONE in my family who has it besides me, All my relatives live to be forever old, so, if they had it when they passed away, it would have been type 2, if they had it at all.
I tend to follow the viral infection prior to getting the Dz the most. I had varicella (chicken pox) a short time before my body went weird.
This makes me wonder if there have been more or less type 1 diabetes diagnoses since the advent of the varicella vaccine. I fought the vaccine for my kids believing the virus may trigger diabetes. However, the school system DEMANDS the kids have it, or they cannot attend school. If they do not attend school, the parents are arrested, and the kids go to foster homes (where they receive the vaccination). ok. So, by preventing the chicken pox, are the kids getting diabetes MORE or LESS or has nothing changed? I just have to wonder. Don’t know where to get the stats, either.
Sorry to ponder out loud.

Carol,
Those are very good observations, too. Somewhere in all this is the answer for which we all are looking. Dang puzzle.

Hi Joan, in my family, my mother, grandmother and aunt as well as brother all had it. But, I just think it’s the predisposition to it that makes it possibly genetic.
Take care,
Carol

Joan, it is a puzzle. I have read and read about it. Gone as far back as I could years ago to try and find a link for the cause. Actually, I need to be in a lab! LOL!!! The cause of it not only puzzles me but makes me nuts!

I think I became a diabetic from vaccines. My mom was into getting us
every vaccine, and back in the late 60’s, they thought vaccines were
the cure for these diseases. I became a diabetic in 1971, when I was
10. I had the mumps the year b-4, so that might’ve contributed to it
also. My dad became a type-2 when he was in his 40’s or 50’s, he was
way overweight, but I am on the thin side.

I think we need a new church for diabetics, it should be called the
Episscupians! LOL
